History of the C-130 Hercules
The versatile Lockheed C-130 Hercules was originally designed during the 1950s, as an assault
transport, but was adapted for a variety of missions, including: special operations (low level and
attack), close air support, mid-air space capsule recovery, search and rescue, aerial refuelling,
weather mapping and reconnaissance, electronic surveillance, fire fighting, aerial spraying and
natural disaster relief missions.
The first of two test aircraft made its maiden flight in August 1954. The C-130 has now accumulated
over 20 million flight hours and currently serves with over 60 countries. The C-130 is expected to
remain in production well into the 21st Century.

Inner gear door Secure the landing gear doors in place using a few drops of thin CA adhesive applied to each hinge leav- ing only a minimal gap between the fuselage and gear door. Inner gear door Regardless of whether fixed landing gear or the optional retracts are to be installed, the control horns and gear door wire should be installed.

    Step 26. flap The flap control horn and servo is now installed the same way as described for the aileron servo, but with one exception. Because the flaps servos are required to move in the same direction when the flap control is used, one servo must be reversed or the pushrods should fitted to the same side of the servo arm on both flap servos.

  • Page 10 If you’ve followed these instructions carefully you should now have a beautiful model of the C-130 Hercules that is nearly ready to fly. Notice the word ‘nearly’! It’s now time to sit down and understand the final setup of the model ready for that first flight.
  • Page 11 it more in an attempt to match RPMs exactly, remember ‘Golden Rule 1’. The likelihood is that one or more may need to be made richer when you do the nose up mixture test. When all is well, shut down all the engines and take a breather! Control Setup Make sure you have set the control movements according to the information given in these instructions.
  • Page 12 This applies at all times and is done for a reason. Losing an engine at any time will result in a swing of some kind. The magnitude of the swing will depend on whether it is an inner or outer that is lost. The swing will be at its worst if it is an outer. If the inners are always at a high power setting when adjusting the outers that swing risk can be minimised.
  • Page 13 Reduce the outers to about 40% on the ‘down wind leg and adjust the descent with the inners. Reduce the outers to about 25% on the ‘base leg’ and again adjust the decent with the inners. Once on ‘finals’ you can bring the outers back to idle and fly in on the inners alone.

As mentioned earlier in the instructions, the lower Cut here. part of the front former will need to be cut away to allow the nose wheel to retract.
